Thinking your website might be due for an upgrade? Here are five telltale signs it’s time to hit refresh.
1. You’re embarrassed to share your URL
If you cringe every time someone asks for your web address, that’s a red flag. Maybe it was a DIY job that got out of hand, or it hasn’t been touched in years. Outdated services, broken links, off-brand colours – it’s not doing your business any favours.
2. It’s slow as shit
No one’s got patience for a sluggish site. If your pages take longer to load than it does to make a coffee, you’re losing potential customers. A fast website isn’t just nice to have – it’s essential.
3. Updates? What updates?
Seeing plugin and theme update icons everywhere? If things are glitching out or breaking altogether, you’re running the risk of security issues and user frustration. It’s time to get things sorted before your website crashes completely.
4. Built by your nephew’s flatmate
You’ve lost touch with the person who made it, and now you have no idea how to update it, fix it, or even log in. If managing your site feels like trying to read ancient code, it’s probably time to move on.
5. It’s not accessible
If your website doesn’t work properly for people with different abilities, you’re excluding a big chunk of your audience. Accessibility matters – not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because it affects how people experience and trust your brand.
If you’re nodding along to more than one of these, it’s probably time to talk. A well-designed, easy-to-manage website can completely change the way people see your business – and how you feel about it too.
